Personality Bio
Known for his uncanny ability to control the crowd, it's no wonder why this quick rising star is dubbed the "Maestro." To experience a party in his control is like a well orchestrated symphony, playing with the emotions of the crowd using the music as his instrument. From being #1 in radio to conquering new territory in tv, this dj's name is sure to keep ringing bells..
Maestro took to the entertainment field early on in his life, doing everything from acting to modeling and rapping. It was his love for music and entertainment that kept him from getting swallowed up in the streets of Edenwald Projects, a Bronx neighborhood notorious by reputation. He began acting and singing at a young age and performed with the ire to write and became an emcee. His verbal prowess allowed him to share stages with such clalikes of Savion Glover, Gregory Hines, Shari Belefonte and more. Later he found a natural talent and desssic Hip hop groups such as Boogie Monsters, Bushbabees, Supernatural, Big Daddy Kane, and Mos Def.
Having moved from NYC to explore college in 1995, Maestro found little outlet for his creativity and hunger to spit bars in Upstate New York. It was there that he found radio. While invading the College Radio station WEOS 89.7fm (Hobart and William Smith Colleges), he quickly made a name for himself locally and rose to the top of the ranks at the station. From music director to mixer, to personality, the college station served as a training ground to propel him to the next level.
In the coming years, Maestro took advantage of any opportunity to boost his resume and status in the industry. In 1999, Maestro landed a spot at Viacom's MTV. Working in the Radio Network department, he furthered his skills and networked with key players in the industry. While honing his skills at MTV, he managed to make the cut for Teen People Magazine's MTV photo shoot.
While MTV was a stepping stone, it couldn't satisfy Maestro's desire to be more on the creative side.
In 2000, Clear Channel Radio bought and launched a new urban radio station in Syracuse NY. It took all of five minutes of hearing a new station with no jocks to spark the energy and persistence of DJ Maestro. After sending in demos and resumes for 6 months straight, it was finally web design, a skill he picked up in his spare time, that opened the door for him at Power 106.9 fm. But in between designing Power..s website, he studied and pulled long hours to prove his dedication. He quickly went from web designer to Promotions Assistant. Eventually he landed his own mix show, "Tha Jumpoff". "Tha Jumpoff", known for breaking many a record and supplying Upstate NY with that NYC flavor, became #1 in it's time slot. This landed him the overnight shift and eventually the Promotions Director position for the station. It was the reputation for breaking new music that got him the name "Tha Hitmaker".
In 2003, Maestro made the switch from Power 106.9 to WWHT (Hot 107.9 fm). Assuming the evening shift and bringing "Tha Jumpoff" over to Hot 107.9, Maestro experienced the same ratings success at Hot. He quickly went to #1 at nights and brought the highest ratings to the station that it had ever experienced to this day. But, after experiencing all that he could in radio, Maestro decided to focus more on his dj'ing and mixshow and to try something new.
Using his past experience in film and tv, Maestro then decided to conquer tv. He went over to News Channel 9 where he made celebrity spotlights highlighting issues in the community in the "Coming Together For Safer Syracuse" series. The special programming eventually was nominated for an Emmy Award.
Maestro went on to break National ground when he co-hosted and appeared on BET's Rap City, making him the only dj in Syracuse and surrounding areas to have done so.
His personality and spirit keep him moving to the top, but it's his dedication and focus that will push him over. There's no stopping this man. Sryacuse's #1 DJ is here to stay...... DJ's BEWARE!!!! |

 A former assistant of R. Kelly's drove the dagger deeper
into the embattled singer's heart yesterday testfying she was "110%

referenced Kelly as one of the best bosses: "I think so highly of Mr.
Kelly and his family"; then she detailed her days picking up the
alleged victim and bringing her to the studio where she spent the
night.
Onc e untouchable Death Row founder Suge Knight suffered a major
setback - literally - when a clubgoer landed a knockout blow to the
embattled mogul outside of an L.A. hotspot. Sources (UDubNews)
